Here me is ...

Well, after much encouragement and a bit of frustration, here I am. I have a livejournal. Um...... whee?

In case you don't know me, which all of you probably don't but eventually might, I happen to be a quiz and survery addict. I find them absolutely hilarious. And what better way to start than with a huge survey thingie? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical.

(and thanks to Guilen for this one.)

10 acquaintances or 1 best friend?: One best friend. Quality, not quantity.
Act or direct?: Ummmm, I can't act, and it's fun to be in charge. Direct.
Adidas, Nike, Reebok?: I'm not very sporty. My brother would shoot me for saying that. No preference.
Alaska or Hawaii?: Um, either. Perhaps Alaska, because it has no sharks and bootiful cruises. And mountains.
Aloha or Hola?: Hola. I loved going to Spain.
Any tattoos and where of what?: None yet. I have a few ideas for later in life, perhaps ...
Are you a good listener?: I like to think I am. I hope I am.
Are you a good student?: Usually. Depends if I'm paying attention or not. Some stuff is too easy, but I've been told I'm a fast learner ....
Are you currently in a relationship?: Yup. And lovin' every second.
Are you involved in sports: Not really. I used to synchro swim, but my knees are shot for anything on land. I might go back to Tae, though.
Bacon bits or croutons?: Bacon bits I guess .... My neighbor when I was a kids used to make us bacon bits with REAl bacon.
Be serious or be funny?: Time and place for everything, so both, in moderation.
Beef or Chicken?: Who cares? It's MEAT!
Best friend or boy/girlfriend?: Tough question. I think a significant other should be a best friend first, so both.
Best Friends?: Yup, and proud to know them.
Birthday?: November 15, 1984. Why? Do I get a present?
Birthplace?: Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Blonde or brunette?: Doesn't matter, but I like darker hair on guys, usually.
Blue eyes or brown?: Don't care. It's what's behind the eyes that counts.
Bow tie or tie?: Don't wear 'em.
Boxers or briefs on guys?: Heh. Boxers.
Chinese or Japanese?: Japanese. I'm an anime nut. The language is hard, though, but I suppose Cantonese would be harder.
Christmas or Halloween?: Hallowe'en, but by a very slim margin. It's like shoosng between family and friends.
Coke or Pepsi?: Coca Cola. All the way.
Color or black-and-white photos?: Black and white is more classic and artistic, but color is more fun.
Cool ranch or Nacho Cheese?: Cheese. When it gets too cheesey, add more cheddar.
Disneyland or Universal Studios?: Universal Studios. Better rides, and I got a photo with Spder-Man!

Well, I have to go make supper, so I'll finish the rest of this survey thingie later.

Adios.

...
... *blinks*

Whooooo that was a big one. Hope everyone enjoyed. I'll be back soon, I hope. For some reason, my parents don't approve of stuff like livejournals and onlne chats and whatnot, so I'll have to wait till school or when they're not home.

And I'm a comment monger. Leave many, and I usually respond.

This'll probably be a place for me to angst, to wonder, to ask questions without answers, to bitch, to rant, to laugh, to cry, ... all sorts of stuff. I won't lie, but I will omit names and specific events to be tactful and relatively anonymous.
If you don't like what I say, then so be it. Flames will be met with flames, for I am a pyro at heart and can give as well as get.

Most of my entries will not be this long; this bloody survey took me four updates! I just needed something to write about.

I'll scoot now. Catch you later.

Or, perhaps, you'll catch me.

sincerely,

me.
